On Friday, tragedy struck when the Humboldt Broncos were involved in a fatal collision with a transport truck. The crash left 15 members of the Humboldt community dead. Tributes poured infrom across the league, and the wider hockey community, as they all came together to grieve the loss.

#PutYourSticksOut, a tribute started as a text message between TSN play-by-play announcer Brian Munz and his friend, has now spread across the world and is continuing to grow.

“Leaving it out on the porch tonight,” the message to Munz said, which followed a photo of a hockey stick. “The boys might need it… wherever they are.”

Got this text from a friend who I went to high school with in Humboldt.

We wanted to show our support to the Humboldt community. We are thinking of those who lost their lives, who lost loved ones, and those who are experiencing pain because of this horrible accident.
